Happy Easter!

My dad used to travel to Eastern Europe where he'd teach at Bible schools and speak at churches. He would bring us back these beautiful hand-crafted eggs, and tell us about the people he'd met and the things God did.

Over the years, our boys have had fun hiding these eggs. Only one of our sons is still at the age where he loves this game, but we will all enjoy these little works of art for years to come.

I sometimes wonder if our kids will one day say, "Remember those eggs Papa brought back?" Or, "Each year, our mom would put out these painted wooden eggs..." (See how I write myself into these stories? :)

There's something comforting and special about these little traditions.

These eggs not only represent family, and people from other countries around the world, but they remind us of the Gospel message that was shared, and that has changed so many lives throughout history.

I'm so thankful that Jesus gave His life for you and me, and that He rose from the dead, conquering sin and death!

Oh Julie what a sweet tradition. Those eggs are really pretty and soo special that they were handmade and brought back by your dad. I know your boys will remember these beautiful memories of their childhood Easter's. My two daughter's are grown and still like to do the Easter Egg Hunt. So tomorrow my two granddaughters and my two daughters and SIL will all hunt for Easter Eggs. So sometimes they do not out grow the traditions. Happy Easter.xoxokris

We recently moved to a farmhouse with some wide open spaces, just past the city limits. We count our blessings as our three sons run fast(!) and free in a country setting that we had dreamed of for years.

I enjoy home decorating and planning special gatherings for family and friends. Little by little we’re trying our hand at gardening, caring for animals and tackling projects around our little farmstead. What we lack in experience, we make up in heart.
